The challenge
Boards often receive lagging safety indicators after incidents have occurred. ECU and the Centre wanted to help boards examine a different question: whether their current values, oversight and strategic practice equipped them to govern safety effectively.
The concept needed to become a credible assessment and a useful experience for directors, not another static governance report.
The approach
Discovery combined corporate-report analysis, stakeholder interviews and econometric modelling. Curio then helped shape a capability framework spanning values-driven, compliance-driven and strategy-driven governance.
The framework was implemented on Compass 360 with individual results, peer benchmarking and practical action planning.

The result
Directing Safety gave boards a structured way to assess governance maturity, compare results and identify actions before relying solely on lagging incident data.
